Ⅰ.阅读理解
I went to a small and poor elementary school. I remember the first time a computer showed up in class. It was in 5th grade and the computer was an Apple. It was the only computer in my school. This was the 80s and it was a $2, 600 machine.
Before I discovered computers, I took typing class on old typewriters and I was the kid in class that repaired the typewriters. I remember spending hours trying to figure out what each typewriter needed to fix a stuck key. I was also the Audio/Visual geek(狂热的人). This meant I was the only one in the class who can thread(穿过) film onto the projector.
Anyway, when this Apple showed up, I immediately opened it. I had to see what was inside. This totally freaked out the teacher but it seemed clear I wasn't going to break it. I quickly learned how to get out of educational games and write things in BASIC.This was all in 5th grade.
I and my 5th grade teacher stayed in touch until her passing. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing if she hadn't done something extraordinary. She let my father and me take the Apple home. I'd spend the weekend programming, reading the massive notebooks. This was a $2, 000 + computer in the middle of the 80s—the pride of the school—and they let me take it home. A year later, I came home from school one day and the family car was gone and there was a Commodore 64 left in its place. My parents had sold the car and bought a Commodore.
Now, I think about this crazy journey. I am standing on the shoulders not only of computer science giants, but also heroes like my parents and my 5th grade teacher. Thanks Mrs Hill, for introducing me to computers even though you were breaking rules. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for bringing a computer home even when there wasn't money for one.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位父亲得知自己的儿子被欺凌后,通过与欺凌者交朋友的方式解决了问题。
解析:
1.考查副词。句意:德克萨斯州休斯顿的一位父亲发现儿子在学校受到欺凌,并通过与儿子的欺凌者交朋友成功地解决了这个问题。动词solved应由副词修饰, successful的副词为successfully。故填successfully。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:他和学校谈了好几次,但事情一直在发生。分析句子结构可知,设空处需填入非谓语, keep doing表示“继续做某事”。故填happening。
3.考查形容词。句意:后来, Fontenot发现他儿子的欺凌者在学校里也被其他孩子欺负,因为他没有漂亮干净的衣服或鞋子。分析句子结构可知, and连接设空处与形容词clean,构成并列的定语,修饰clothes or shoes,所以设空处需填形容词词性, attract的形容词为attractive。故填attractive。
4. 考查冠词。句意:当Fontenot与男孩的母亲交谈时,母亲允许他向儿子伸出援手,并告诉他,他们一家无家可归,正努力寻求稳定。句中的family特指欺凌者的一家,因而用定冠词。故填the。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:当Fontenot与男孩的母亲交谈时,母亲允许他向儿子伸出援手,并告诉他,他们一家无家可归,正努力寻求稳定。分析句子结构可知,设空处需填入非谓语形式。短语struggle to do表示“努力做某事”。故填to find。
6.考查语态。句意:他一天的大部分时间都和他一起玩和聊天。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少谓语,动词spend与主语day之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用被动语态,通篇为一般过去时。故填was spent。
7.考查时态。句意:然后,奇妙的事情发生了。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少谓语动词,通篇为一般过去时。故填appeared。
8. 考查连词。句意:这两个男孩现在是朋友,并且一起玩电子游戏。分析句子结构可知, are now friends与play video games together为并列成分,应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
9. 考查定语从句。句意:Fontenot还为这个男孩的家庭成立了一个GoFundMe基金会,在过去几个月里已经筹集了32 000多美元。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为GoFundMe,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,因而用which。故填which。
10. 考查形容词。句意:这个男孩和他的家人非常感谢Fontenot。分析句子成分可知,系动词are后面缺少形容词作表语, thank的形容词形式为thankful。故填thankful。

Our English teacher is Jackson who comes from Canada. He is about 40 years old, tall and thin with a pair of glasses. As a teacher, he is strict with us.

For example, he always encourages us to think hard and develop our ability to study on our own. What's more, he often helps and cares for us. He is very kind to us.
We all love him and respect him.
